It was a great weekend for the Big Red. We had a doubleheader on Saturday, starting with a 1 p.m. match at Hofstra, and then culminating in a 6 p.m. Ivy League faceoff at Columbia. Over the course of the day, our guys only gave up eight offensive points.
For those of you who have [...]

agu just missed placing, losing the match to secure all-state honors 3-2 i think
Fine column Mr. Miller.
Some extra comments Bill: a western Nassau guy here.
Where is St. Anthony’s ? Smithtown, no ? I know, not part
of Sect XI. But the Western Half of our Great Island produced
what; 6 NYS Champs, including young Grant Greene.
And Josh Veltre, Greece Olympia, was 59-0 going into his 152
pound Championship match. And he was ahead in the 3rd period.
But the “Hammer” from Wantagh STRUCK. Congrats to both great
wrestlers !
Thank you,

Al,
Thank you for the fine words….Having worked alongside Bill Miller for the past few months, I can tell you, his dedication and passion has no rival
St. Anthony’s is located in South Huntington, I believe…However, Grant Greene is a native of Cold Spring Harbor (Nassau) School District, as evident by his run to the DII finals as an 8th-grader.
Greisheimer and Veltre certainly had quite the battle…Regardless of which one had gotten their hand raised, the winner would have been deserving of the title…Ironically, I am hearing that Veltre might be headed to Edinboro. Therefore, if truth, those two should make for a hell of a wrestle-off in the coming four or five years.
Thanks again for your warm words….I know Bill is appreciative of them.

Anyone see that Grippi – Ruggirello match ? anyone have the video ?
One of our readers may, but we don’t have it here. We didn’t tape any of the semifinal bouts.
